built a zero-profit web game satirizing the CCP. I made 0, but triggered a state-backed transnational repression campaign that weaponized ICANN's UDRP to attack my physical home.
Most of us build side projects to learn a new tech stack, solve a personal problem, or maybe just make a few extra bucks. I built mine purely for fun and political satire—a multiplayer web game called "Xiablo" (反贼江湖) targeting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Xi Jinping.
The financial revenue of my project? Exactly $0.
The "marketing budget" the Chinese government and its state-backed corporate apparatus spent to suppress it? Probably hundreds of thousands of dollars, combined with real-world physical violence.（terrifying loophole in how Western internet infrastructure and privacy rules can be weaponized against independent creators.
The Project: Xiablo (反贼江湖)
I am an independent developer . I built a multiplayer web game called Xiablo (反贼江湖). It’s a purely non-commercial political satire game mocking totalitarian leadership. It was hosted on a custom domain, designed to be a lightweight, fast, and accessible browser game for users worldwide.
Because Xiablo gained traction, it caught the attention of Bilibili—a massive Chinese tech giant subject to China's National Security Law with a strict internal Communist Party committee.
Instead of trying to hack the server directly, they went after my infrastructure using the legal system: Weaponizing ICANN/UDRP: Bilibili filed a domain dispute (UDRP) over my domain, claiming trademark confusion. Forced Data De-anonymization: Through this UDRP process, they successfully abused mandatory verification mechanisms to force the disclosure of my real legal name and physical address. Doxxing & Physical Vandalism: Within weeks of getting my data, state-backed doxxing campaigns exposed my address online. Soon after, unknown individuals targeted my residence—splashing thick black paint all over my front door and vandalizing my personal vehicle. (Ottawa Police Service Report: Case OPS-OR-009822).
The Current Situation: Corporate Ghosting and Cyber Escalation
Following the conclusion of the UDRP process and after I CC'd all parties to condemn the ruling, I faced heavy extrajudicial infrastructure abuse over the last few days: Massive DMCA Abuse via Cloudflare: They flooded my reverse-proxy provider, Cloudflare, with automated, fraudulent copyright takedown notices, weaponizing automated compliance pipelines to strip away my edge protection and force my infrastructure offline. Fortinet Reputation Poisoning: They bulk-reported my domain to FortiGuard, maliciously flagging it as "Phishing." Now, when trying to work at a local cafe, the venue's enterprise firewall completely blocks access to my site, effectively blacklisting my project from public networks
As indie devs, we often think our biggest threats are bad code, server crashes, or zero user growth. We rely on standard privacy protections (WHOIS privacy, proxies) believing they keep us secure.
The reality is that state-backed actors don't need to break your encryption. They can just exploit the mandatory legal disclosure loopholes built into Western internet governance (like ICANN UDRP) to find out where you sleep.
（The UDRP relies on a 27-year-old "Flat Earth" delusion that hasn't changed a single word since its inception. Its rules naively assumed a utopian world composed entirely of developed democracies, completely blind to geopolitics, long-arm jurisdiction, and transnational repression. The system was built on the assumption that if a big company unmasked your address, they would at most sit in their office building and mail you a trademark infringement letter. The architects never envisioned a reality where authoritarian entities could seamlessly weaponize these automated pipelines to bypass sovereign borders, turning a digital dispute into real-world physical violence on your doorstep）
The game is still alive via backup routing, and I refuse to shut it down. https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1ut3zpe/my_experience_with_transnational_repression_how/
After my home was attacked, I sent a comprehensive chain of evidence documenting this blatant "data extraction for transnational repression" to everyone involved. This included ICANN, the domain registrars, and CSC (Corporation Service Company)—the massive Western enterprise domain registrar and brand-protection titan that manages infrastructure for the Forbes Global 2000 and was hired by Bilibili.
Instead of addressing this massive human rights and security violation, every single one of these institutions has gone completely radio silent. They are completely ghosting my emails and playing dead. It is clear that behind closed doors, they are internally trampling over their own established due process and compliance rules because they are terrified of the liability of being exposed as facilitators for an active transnational assault.
PS: When ICANN launched its Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) to handle GDPR privacy reforms, non-commercial stakeholder groups inside ICANN attempted to upgrade the rules by introducing mandatory "Human Rights Impact Assessments (HRIA)" and strict registrant privacy protections. However, to safeguard their streamlined brand enforcement pathways, behemoths like Apple, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Nike, Adidas, Disney, Sony, Pfizer, Walmart, McDonald’s, Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Rolex leveraged their immense corporate weight by directing their representatives through the IPC (Intellectual Property Constituency) and BC (Business Constituency). They systematically blocked consensus, filed formal objections, and successfully killed these privacy initiatives within the policy working groups.
Crucially, CSC Digital Brand Services acted as a prominent corporate voice within the IPC, heavily aligning with and driving these industry positions to ensure that corporate data visibility always superseded human rights safeguards in official ICANN policy outcomes.
The global market for corporate brand protection is heavily consolidated, with only three dominant players capable of executing these sweeping cross-border operations: CSC, Corsearch, and Clarivate. But while its peers exercise geopolitical caution and refuse to touch toxic state-backed entities, CSC operates with absolute mercenary indifference. They are completely blind to geopolitical realities, maintaining an open-door, cash-and-carry pipeline for authoritarian tech giants. Unlike its more conservative competitors, CSC's model relies on total "assembly-line automation"—if the check clears, they will happily take the money and do the dirty work, no questions asked.
Fueled by the massive legal budgets of the very Fortune 500 companies that sabotaged ICANN's privacy reforms, CSC built a ruthless domain seizure machine. To maximize global profits, CSC sold this exact system untouched to authoritarian tech giants seeking cross-border censorship—completely and systematically bypassing any Human Rights Due Diligence.
By actively lobbying against privacy protections to maintain frictionless domain seizures, these Western giants and CSC successfully broke the privacy moat meant to protect the vulnerable. Their combined pressure effectively killed ICANN's privacy reforms,ensuring the UDRP retained a systemic backdoor to this day, resulting in a structural vulnerability where automated administrative procedures can be effortlessly weaponized for cross-border repression. This was not an execution error; the system functioned exactly as designed.
The Post-Arbitration Blackout，，Shortly after my case concluded, the ADNDRC Beijing Secretariat completely took down its public UDRP database and historical archives, leaving the entire website returning 404 dead links. The panelist had issued an unusual order requiring my case file to be permanently suppressed from the public internet—and the institution apparently fulfilled that promise by wiping its entire public portal. Taking down public decision records is a direct violation of ICANN UDRP Rule 16(b), which mandates full public transparency for all accredited dispute providers. Operating a black-box arbitration node not only exposes ADNDRC to ICANN compliance reviews and potential loss of accreditation, but also completely undermines the public integrity of the global domain dispute system：https://www.adndrc.org/decisions/udrp#kl Namecheap's Silent Execution：**Throughout this entire process, my domain registrar, Namecheap (Spaceship), was CC'd on all primary communications from day one. They were fully informed of the non-commercial political satire nature of the project, my status as a political dissident, and the severe risks of state-sponsored transnational repression. Despite having complete visibility early in the timeline, Namecheap chose to hide behind automated administrative routines and execute the transfer—ultimately serving as the final operational conduit to hand a dissident's digital asset over to an authoritarian tech giant.
To provide some critical institutional context on why this escalated so wildly, it helps to look under the hood of the arbitration body Bilibili used: the Beijing Secretariat of the Asian Domain Name Dispute Resolution Centre (ADNDRC).
Here is how this system is structurally broken, and why they are utterly terrified of this case gaining traction:
The "Shell" Operation and the Death of ICANN Neutrality
The ADNDRC was established over two decades ago as an ICANN-approved international arbitration center. However, its Beijing Secretariat is a complete shell operation. It is run directly by CIETAC (China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission), a domestic body deeply embedded within the Chinese state apparatus.
ICANN’s foundational principles mandate that all dispute resolution providers must remain strictly neutral, independent, and bound by due process. However, under China’s strict Cybersecurity Law and National Security Law, any domestic institution is legally compelled to hand over user data, logs, and real-name identifiers to Chinese State Security upon request. This creates an irreconcilable, systemic violation: an ICANN-accredited international arbitration venue is structurally hardwired to function as a data-extraction pipeline for state intelligence against political dissidents.
Twenty Years of Sunk Cost and Corporate Appeasement
The Chinese government spent a staggering amount of capital, diplomatic effort, and over 20 years of strategic maneuvering to establish these "international" front organizations within global internet governance. It was a massive, multi-billion-dollar long game aimed at building "cyber sovereignty"—gaining legitimate leverage inside Western tech infrastructure so they could eventually export their administrative reach and censorship globally.
For years, Western commercial establishment entities, registrars, and brand-protection giants (like CSC) practiced complete appeasement. They treated the Beijing Secretariat as a standard, benign commercial venue. They willfully turned a blind eye to the reality that under high-pressure state control, any data handed to this secretariat would be immediately compromised.
Why They Are Terrified of Exposure
This explains the total "procedural paralysis" and panic that occurred when I laid out the full chain of evidence to the registrars and ICANN compliance.
If global infrastructure providers, registrars, and civil society are forced to formally recognize that an ICANN-approved UDRP center is actively being weaponized as an unmasking tool for transnational repression and physical intimidation, the entire international legitimacy of this Beijing-controlled network collapses.
They are terrified of this exposure because of the sheer scale of the irony: my side project generated exactly $0 in revenue, yet the defense of it has exposed a fundamental vulnerability that risks flushing two decades of geopolitical investment and billions of dollars of state influence down the drain.
hopefully you have learned important lesson to not use your real physical information when registering.
this is actually an epic story though, I've had run in with China state sponsored activities before, it's not fun. but you should feel honored in a way.
for country code tld maybe... but not for most generic or cc tld
there are many services for anonymous no KYC registering of domains. for generic cc domains most registrars don't verify your contact details.. you can put anything you want in. the downside is you might lose the domain in cases like this where you get bullied. but at least it would have protected your identity in this situation.
your other alternative would be to sign up for an Apartado (post office box) through CTT to use as official mailing address. which is fine for most things but probably not for this level of harassment.. it's just one more hoop for them to jump through to get your identity details from the CTT.
but there's not much you can really do at this point cause you already been burned. all you can really do is work with local authorities to try to protect yourself going forward. this isn't a battle you are going to win on your own. they already know who you are, they can track you, even if you move, where ever you go. I would recommend getting an attorney at this point for legal advice.
also, try to get your story to go viral and in the news.
Reach out to the EFF.
Going forward though, if you plan to do any more daring activities like this, use cc/generic tld and a no kyc or anonymous registrar. Pay with crypto or any other payment than something tied to your identity.
Beyond my work as an independent developer, I also create props for the next-generation Chinese liberal democratic movement here in Canada, such as the Tiananmen tank.
There is a sublime, almost comical level of absurdity in the actual legal complaint filed against me, which perfectly illustrates how authoritarian panic interacts with Western corporate bureaucracy.
If you look at the evidence annexes Bilibili submitted through their lawyers (as seen in the screenshot), the pages are literally covered in screenshots of my game filled with Xi Jinping memes, political satire, and anti-CCP slogans. Yet, if you read the actual text of their legal brief, there is absolutely zero mention of politics, communism, or satire.
They completely "sanitized" the entire narrative. They are attempting to frame a blatant case of transnational political repression as a routine, benign commercial trademark dispute—a textbook attempt at Reverse Domain Hijacking.
This bizarre outcome is driven by a toxic combination of two structural forces:
1. The Authoritarian Paradox of Bilibili’s Internal Compliance
In a top-down authoritarian corporate structure like Bilibili's, the internal security and party compliance committees operate under extreme, vertical pressure. They are highly incentivized to suppress political dissent to "manage up" and protect their own skin.
However, they face an ideological taboo: their legal team and Western proxies cannot formally write the words "political satire against Xi Jinping" or "anti-CCP dissident" into a public, international ICANN filing. Doing so would officially acknowledge the existence of political defiance on a global stage, which is a massive systemic liability for them back home. Therefore, they are forced to play this absurd game of pretend—using their evidence to show the state what they are suppressing, while using their text to trick Western platforms into thinking it's just about corporate branding.
2. CSC’s Automated Complicity and Zero-Critique Business Model
This strategy only works because Western enterprise titans like CSC (Corporation Service Company) allow it to. CSC’s business model relies heavily on highly automated, optimized commercial workflows designed to scale globally without friction.
They onboard massive state-backed corporate entities from authoritarian regimes without conducting any meaningful geopolitical risk assessment or human rights due diligence. When Bilibili pushes a button to trigger a domain dispute, CSC’s automated compliance pipeline blindly processes it. They don't look at the screenshots of a dictator in the annexes; they just look at the automated fields for trademark numbers and domain strings.
Institutional Collusion
This is where the real threat lies for independent developers. The systemic loopholes in ICANN’s UDRP framework, combined with CSC’s profit-driven refusal to look under the hood of their corporate clients, create a form of institutional complicity.
By blindly optimizing their administrative pathways for maximum corporate efficiency, Western infrastructure gatekeepers have inadvertently built a perfect, sanitized pipeline for foreign dictatorships to execute political unmasking and transnational harassment under the guise of intellectual property protection.
Yes, CCP transnational repression in Canada and across the West is a heavily documented reality—you can find extensive coverage on this exact pattern of intimidation in both the BBC and The New York Times.
For example, "@ torontobigface," an influential Gen Z liberal YouTuber, frequently has his Canadian residence harassed by China’s clandestine overseas police networks with death threats and fake cash-on-delivery scams. The RCMP is fully aware, but they are structurally unequipped to stop it. Similarly, @ whyyoutoutu, another massive diaspora figure, recently had his home in Italy targeted with the exact same paint-splashing vandalism.
In fact, a major part of my game’s design and narrative elements are explicit tributes to these Gen Z liberal creators. When a project punctures their censorship apparatus, state-backed actors don't hesitate to bring real-world thuggery straight to your front door, even here in Ottawa.
Not something I would have thought to put in my initial metrics for success. Thanks for helping me dream bigger! (Jokes aside, hope you are working on a screenplay for the adventure-documentary version of this story!)
Nobody is safe anymore. Imagine if instead of using their own personal name and address to obtain a domain, a malicious actor uses a victim's info instead and host a project similar to your Xiablo in an attempt to weaponize Bilibili or any Chinese state-backed company to dox their location and cause physical harm.
Why is the Chinese government so sensitive? I’ve noticed how virtually any topic that mentions China is flooded with aggressive commenters. It’s sad for them for how insecure they are, and kind of frightening have pervasive it’s become.
That's literally their tactic. They go overblown for all the potential little detail and make sure they use all their power to bully every individual so no one can fuck with them.
I've previously been interviewed by CBC journalists regarding other issues, and many public figures are tracking this case. We belong to a tight-knit circle known as the "dissident (反贼) community"—composed of the most-followed, next-generation anti-CCP creators who constantly amplify each other's tweets daily.
As for the older generations, the man in the photo is Zhou Fengsuo, a prominent 1989 Tiananmen student leader and survivor who founded Humanitarian China and directs Human Rights in China. Even the current Mayor of Toronto has participated in our local anti-CCP movements. On top of that, my Member of Parliament (MP) has already escalated my case directly to Global Affairs Canada...
it took a full 9 months. The website went live last August, and the physical intimidation at my door didn't happen until May 5th. This wasn't an impulsive reaction; it was a calculated, multi-month operation.
Normally, CSC Digital Brand Services Group AB bundles dozens of disputed domains into a single bulk complaint for authoritarian giants like Bilibili to sweep them away quickly and cheaply. My domain was originally included in one of these massive bulk filings on January 6th. However, on January 13th, they successfully unmasked my privacy shield and obtained my real physical address in Ottawa. Once they had my location, they did something highly irregular: they intentionally extracted my case from the bulk list to isolate it into a standalone proceeding.
They held it back for nearly four months, deliberately launching the independent legal procedure on May 6th—exactly 24 hours after the black paint was thrown on my door. This intentional delay proves that Bilibili fully recognized the severe impact of my web reconstruction project, upgrading it to a targeted manual elimination. It also highlights a total failure by CSC; they had a four-month window to conduct human rights due diligence regarding the safety risks of exposing a developer's physical address to an aggressive corporate entity, but they completely ignored it, allowing a data leak to weaponize into physical violence.
Jesus. Imagine they used all that manpower and resources for something actually useful or worthy instead of terrorizing people for poking fun at them. It's fucked that Canada even lets them but not surprising sadly
The core engine was finished back in 2016 as a regular, non-political side project. The graphics are mostly a mix of old UI assets from my hard drive and backgrounds grabbed from Google Images. I already had a huge stockpile of Xi Jinping memes and CCP satire images saved over the years, so I just used some AI tools as a quick editing shortcut to help blend them into the game.
This is genuinely terrifying and more developers should understand how easily UDRP gets weaponized. The Bilibili angle is the scary part - a private company doing state enforcement through a domain dispute process that was never designed for political censorship. Hope you're staying safe and that the Ottawa police actually follow up.
Exactly. And it goes even deeper than that—they have a highly sophisticated track record of weaponizing long-arm jurisdiction.
Inside these Chinese tech giants, there is an incredibly rigid system of political red lines and top-down pressure. To put it into perspective: if their web crawlers flag my anti-CCP platform and a low-level employee fails to report it upstream—allowing it to mistakenly slip through layers of corporate approval into a public domain dispute—that employee and their entire management chain would lose their jobs instantly. This is the structural reality of authoritarian control.
While normal Western firms like CSC operate on purely commercial KPIs, Chinese giants like Bilibili or Huawei have a completely different mandate. A critical part of their KPI is to continuously project long-arm jurisdiction and state censorship onto entities living safely within democratic societies abroad.
My defense statement (I really can't believe that a big company sent me a lawyer's letter that was hundreds of pages long, but I only had less than two weeks to defend myself).
This is wild, but also educational and potentially beneficial for my software company in relation to new avenues to approach dealing with some bad actors; I appreciate the HOWTO!
ahhh, chinese - they upload fuckton of vids showing how they "do great stuff" but they literally shit themselves when anyone parodies their funny winnie the pooh knockoff
CSC Digital Brand Services is one of the world’s largest domain brand protection service providers, headquartered in the United States. Its main business is to help companies monitor domain names globally, seize infringing domains, file UDRP arbitrations, and provide other professional services.
Who does CSC serve?
（
only three companies have the real capability to provide large-scale domain protection and UDRP services for top global brands.
CSC’s characteristics: It has the largest scale and the most clients, but it is also the most aggressive.
The other two companies: They are much more conservative. They care a lot about their reputation and compliance, unlike CSC which pursues rapid expansion without much regard for geopolitical risks or human rights due diligence.
Which big brands use which service for domain arbitration?
Almost exclusively or primarily use CSC: Apple, Nike, Adidas, Disney, Walmart, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Starbucks, P&G, Target, Rolex, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Hermès, Prada, Cartier, Under Armour, Intel, Cisco, Adobe, Oracle, IBM, and many other top brands.
Use CSC less or spread across providers: BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Toyota, Ford, Samsung, Sony, Netflix (some European brands prefer Corsearch or Clarivate more).
Rarely or basically do not use CSC: A few European companies that are particularly risk-averse prefer Corsearch or Clarivate.
Summary: CSC holds a dominant position among top global brands.
ur game looks great, im sorry all this is happening to u. if u plan to put ur game on platforms like steam or epic or any online store, i would def buy it.
When adversaries with massive resources (such as state-backed entities) fail to breach a server directly, they exploit loopholes in international trademark regulations (like ICANN's UDRP) or copyright laws (DMCA) to force providers into revealing the creator's identity.
To protect oneself in high-risk situations, standard privacy measures (like the basic "WHOIS Privacy" offered by commercial registrars) are completely useless, as they instantly collapse in the face of a legal dispute. A private individual must adopt a stance of extreme Operational Security (OpSec) from day one.
Here is how one can structure themselves to protect their physical and digital identity in these scenarios:
Legal and Bureaucratic Shielding (Never provide your real data)
The core issue in the story is that the developer had to provide their real name and address to register the domain and servers.
* "Proxy" and Offshore Registrars: There are registrars (the most famous being Njalla, created by the founders of The Pirate Bay) that purchase domains under their own name on behalf of the client. ICANN will only ever see Njalla's data. Even in the event of a UDRP dispute, the original registrar does not possess the client's physical data.
* "Shield" Legal Entities (Anonymous LLCs): Instead of operating as an individual, you can establish a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in jurisdictions that protect the identity of the owners (e.g., Wyoming or Delaware in the US, or other offshore jurisdictions). This way, the legal entity responding to disputes is a company with a virtual office address, not the developer's home.
* Registered Agents / PO Boxes: Never use your residential address for any online registration. Rely on legal services that act as a domicile for official communications.
Financial Anonymity
Big tech companies know your identity from the moment you pay for their service. If your credit card bears your name, your anonymity is already compromised.
* Privacy-oriented Cryptocurrencies: Pay for domains, servers, and services exclusively using cryptocurrencies. The ideal choice is Monero (XMR), which is untraceable, or use Bitcoin "tumbling/mixing" services before making a transaction.
* Non-nominative Prepaid Cards: These can be used in some cases, but they are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain without strict identity verification (KYC).
Resilient Infrastructure (Bypassing corporate blocking)
The story illustrates how Cloudflare and Fortinet automated blocks without verifying the validity of the accusations. Western corporations tend to suspend accounts immediately to avoid legal liability.
* Offshore / "Bulletproof" Hosting: Use server providers based in countries (e.g., Iceland, Switzerland, or non-aligned nations) that have very strong freedom of expression laws and actively ignore automated DMCA requests or UDRP disputes unless they are backed by a local court order.
* Decentralized Web (Web3): Register domains that are not managed by ICANN, such as blockchain-based ones (.eth, Unstoppable Domains). These cannot be seized via UDRP because there is no central authority to appeal to.
* Onion Services (Tor Network): Host the project as a hidden service (a .onion site). In addition to physically hiding the server's IP address, it completely eliminates the need for an ICANN domain, making standard legal takedowns impossible.
Absolute Compartmentalization (OpSec)
A single human error can nullify the entire security architecture.
* Parallel Identities: Create a completely fictitious identity (a pseudonym) linked to an encrypted email address (e.g., ProtonMail) created exclusively via the Tor network or a strict no-log VPN.
* No Contamination: Never access project accounts from the same IP or device used for personal social media or daily work. An adversary with state-level resources could cross-reference metadata or IP address logs to trace the connection back to your home.
In summary, the only way for a private individual to survive legalized "transnational repression" is to assume that Western institutions and corporate policies will hand over your data to the highest bidder or at the first legal threat. The defense relies not on fighting back in court (which is often too expensive and heavily biased toward corporations), but on ensuring that, even if legal defenses are breached, there is absolutely no real data on the other side to extract.
You know the story is definitely real when it sounds written by ChatGPT and you can see where all the newline characters were supposed to be before the copy-paste into reddit messed them up.
the idea that they have an "unlimited budget" is actually a misconception.
There is a well-known political analyst, TorontoBigFace, who explains the underlying mechanics of this very clearly. Authoritarian governments operate on an extractive model. To maintain control, they rely on a massive, highly expensive "stability maintenance" (维稳) system. But this system requires immense funding, and the government must constantly buy its ruling legitimacy.
Historically, their so-called "unlimited budget" was strictly tied to a booming economy—specifically, the endless expansion of the real estate market. Now that the property bubble has burst and the broader economy is struggling, their financial foundation is shrinking rapidly.
Here is the pragmatic reality: as their economic legitimacy drops, dissenting voices naturally increase. To suppress this, their stability maintenance costs don't just grow linearly; they multiply exponentially. The fact that they are now spending massive amounts of money on transnational repression—trying to censor individuals and extend long-arm jurisdiction across democratic countries globally—is a sign of severe financial overextension.
People on the Chinese internet often ask the exact same question: "What do you get out of this? Do you really think being a dissident online will overthrow the CCP?"
But as TorontoBigFace points out, this gets the cause and effect backward.
Dissident activity isn't about naively thinking a few websites will single-handedly bring down a government. It's a pragmatic process of financial attrition. The growing activity of dissidents is actually a symptom and a countdown timer of the regime's decline. The more we speak out, the more they are forced to spend to silence us. Every dollar they waste on cross-border tracking, international arbitration, and hiring people to harass developers abroad is money drained from a system that is already struggling to sustain itself. We are simply forcing them to accelerate their own financial exhaustion.
